This changelog entry on 2012-04-05 isn't quite correct. It reads:

[matthew] - Use su from chapter 6 Coreutils in the Bash instructions, 
instead of the one from chapter 5. Install su as su rather than su-tools 
in chapter 5. Fixes #3057.

coreutils in chapter 6 doesn't install su. So the su you're using for 
tests all throughout chapter 6 is the one we explicitly install from 
chapter 5 coreutils. su is installed in chapter 6 by the shadow package.

I can't recall offhand why we chose to use su-tools originally. Probably 
just as a nominal reminder that we were using the one in /tools. :)

If I get a chance, just for curiosity, I'll see if I can look up that 
thread.
